President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the release of $8.5 million to be used for the evacuation of Nigerians from Ukraine.
 
The information was made public by Zubairu Dada, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs.
 
Dada said the approval was given on Wednesday at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
 
The minister said AirPeace and Max Air airlines have been selected to provide three aircraft to facilitate the evacuation of Nigerians.
 
Russia and Ukraine have been at war since last week over the latter’s decision to join NATO.
 
About 5,000 Nigerian students have been affected by the ongoing war in Eastern European countries.
 
The Nigerian government had expressed desires to evacuate its citizens in Ukraine.
 
Nigerian embassies in Romania, Hungary, and Poland have received over 256 stranded Nigerians from Ukraine.
 
Geoffrey Onyeama, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, had said the Federal Government would commence the evacuation of stranded Nigerians from Ukraine from Wednesday.

It's fraud, it's corruption and greed. You guys are ungodly, inhumane and selfish. You are just looking for ways to make money under the horrible circumstances. The Indian government sent 2 commercial airlines to evacuate its citizens from Ukraine two days ago. Brazil, Canada, Austria, Finland, France, Turkey followed suit. The Nigerian government has set a standard practice where nothing works in Nigeria without the sure implementation of corruption at any cost. Other countries are busy evacuating their citizens you busy meeting. How unfortunate! The evacuation of your nationals will cost you nothing. These are human beings just like you. Put yourselves in their place. You have commercial airlines operating in Nigeria. Ask the airlines to go and get our people out of a war zone, they will comply because we are talking about human lives, our people in that respect. Stop quoting this outrageous amount of money to be spent for evacuation. Get your citizens out of Ukraine and Poland, then settle with the airline operators in Nigeria, pure and simple. Be humane for a second, and show compassion to your fellow human beings in grave danger. YOUR OWN PEOPLE.
